Pros
I have been with Avanade 3+ years. Being about 20 years in to my career, I can honestly say this is one of the best companies that I have ever worked for. They have some growing pains and some times loose sight of one of their key tenants - we believe everyone counts - but overall, very good company.
Cons
I've requested a number of times to get a career advisor that was more proactive and that actually helps to advise my career, but have been denied - no idea why, but I am. Directors and above can be very aloof at times. I also feel like they forget that we're all humans doing our job and that full-time travel - no matter who you are - is difficult. So you roll from one project to the next and if you ask to find something a little more in-line with your goals (professional or personal), you're beaten over the head with Chargeability. While they have put some mechanisms in place to help ensure one of our benefits (yearly bonus/STI) happens in the future, it was very disheartening to be told that we as a whole are not getting one at the end of the 2017 Fiscal Year. They gave excuses, but to then show off a new internal campaign with our CEO traveling the world, renting a yacht, and going in to a huge video production. It was insulting. As someone that had rearranged my personal vacation time repeatedly for clients, was 102% chargeable, and devoted countless personal hours in to the company... It was insulting.
